# BluOS Controller vs AmpMe

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BluOS Controller at none against AmpMe's 10. BluOS Controller also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). AmpMe's advantage is ratings volume (54K vs 5.3K) and chart position (#93 vs unranked). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AmpMe sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. BluOS Controller asks for nothing beyond the download.

BluOS Controller holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AmpMe has 54K ratings behind it against 5.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 39% of BluOS Controller's written reviews are positive against 29% of AmpMe's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
